If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

The script walks the installer's home directory, Desktop, Documents, Projects, and cwd to harvest desktop crypto-wallet directories, browser extension LevelDB stores (MetaMask, Phantom, and similar), `~/.ssh/*` private keys, `~/.aws/credentials`, `~/.git-credentials`, `.env*`, `.npmrc`/`.yarnrc`, and the full `process.env`. The collected files are tarred and POSTed to a hardcoded Telegram Bot API endpoint (`https://api.telegram.org/bot\u003credacted\u003e/sendDocument`, chat_id 416517694). The script additionally contains npm worm scaffolding: after collecting an npm token it calls `whoami` against `registry.npmjs.org`, enumerates all packages owned by the maintainer via the registry search API, and for each package downloads the tarball, injects a postinstall hook, bumps the version, writes a `.npmrc` with the stolen token, and prepares publication (the final publish call is currently gated by `if (false)`, but token theft, maintainer enumeration, and the injector pipeline are live). Bundling the payload as a `file:` dependency causes npm to install and run its lifecycle hooks without a registry fetch, making the manifest itself the delivery vector.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Malicious code in test-in-one (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-15562","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"malicious","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":[],"last_affected":[],"package":"test-in-one","purl":"pkg:npm/test-in-one","source":"MAL-2026-15562"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-29","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"OpenSSF Malicious Packages","prefix":"MAL"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-15562/"}
